**Rapid Builder is an easy-to-use, flexible and powerful tool that lets the author create and customize interactive presentations. With Rapid Builder, users can create multimedia tutorials, movies, demos and simulations easily. It’s the ideal tool for professional trainers and demo builders. The main advantages of this package are support for Multimedia objects and Animation objects.**
**Java Applet Player is the tool that can be used for playing the CBT presentations created with Rapid Builder and to appear for the exams created with the Exam creation tool known as Rapid Exam. In the case of exams, after the completion of the exam, the player will send a mail to the student. The student database is maintained on SQL server prepared by the Exam Manager application.**
**Java Applet Player can reproduce the captured screen shots, captured sound, and mouse movements. In addition, a number of effects, graphic objects, draw objects, videos and sounds can be played, that are assigned using Rapid Builder. The video, audio and object data are compressed to reduce the file size.**

**<font face="Symbol" size= "3">·</font> <font face= "Times New Roman">Description</font>**
**The project was meant to download a plugin, to play a particular type of file, if it is not available in the users machine. The applet will search the users machine for the required plugin and if it is not there, it will download the plugin, installs it on the users machine and plays the file on his machine. This makes use of signed java applets to perform the search operation in the local machine and to download and write the plugins on to the client machine.**
